Book Reviews of Silent In The Grave
Book Review: A fabulous, feisty new heroine.
Summary: 5 Stars
Lady Julia Grey is the kind of woman that was almost unheard of in the late nineteenth century. Clever, outspoken, elegant and feisty. When her husband, who has long suffered a heart condition, suddenly dies during a dinner engagement, Lady Julia is left to contemplate a year of mourning, the descent of her Aunt Ursula, a relative who only comes to stay when there has been a death in the family, and a childless, empty household to manage. However, the conventional mourning period is disturbed by the arrival of Mr Nicholas Brisbane - dark, tempestuous, and convinced that her husband had been murdered.
Lady Julia and Brisbane form an unlikely duo as they work to solve the mystery, but if you think that Lady Julia is going to settle down demurely whilst the gentleman takes the lead in the investigation, you are sorely mistaken. Backed by her less than orthodox family, Julia defies danger in order to finally solve the crime.
Raybourne has created a character who is simply delightful. Written in the first person, Julia's witty observations, honesty and dogged determination to find an answer to the mystery makes it impossible to put this book down. The period was captured beautifully and the characters are all drawn with exquisite detail. And Raybourn clearly left things 'hanging' so that we know this is not the end of Lady Julia and Brisbane. I can't wait to read the next book.
